Veterinary Consent
A signed veterinary consent form is required before your dog can begin treatment. This allows our hydrotherapists to fully understand your dog’s medical history, condition, behaviour, and any other precautions.
Please remember that your dog may not enter the pool or treadmill during their first visit. This is completely normal. The first session is about creating trust, assessing comfort levels, and helping your dog feel safe.
Your dog is part of the family, and Milton Keynes offers a fantastic range of outdoor spaces for them to enjoy. From walks around Willen Lake and exploring the open spaces of Campbell Park to countryside adventures through Ouzel Valley Park, there are plenty of opportunities for dogs to stay active, curious, and mentally stimulated. Regular exercise plays an important role in supporting overall wellbeing, mobility, and fitness, helping dogs enjoy a healthier and happier life at every stage.
For dogs recovering from injury, managing a long-term condition, or needing extra support with movement, dog hydrotherapy can be a valuable addition to their care routine. Whether your dog enjoys exploring Milton Keynes’ parks and green spaces or simply loves their daily walks, House of Hydro is here to help them stay comfortable, active, and able to enjoy the things they love for longer.
Here are some of the most common questions we receive from dog owners considering hydrotherapy.
Yes, a signed veterinary consent form is required before treatment begins. This helps ensure your dog receives safe and appropriate care based on their medical history.
Not every dog naturally enjoys water, and that is completely normal. Our hydrotherapy sessions are introduced gradually, allowing your dog to build confidence without pressure.
Hydrotherapy pools provide a controlled environment with regulated temperature, clean water, and specialist equipment designed specifically for rehabilitation. Natural water sources cannot offer the same level of support or safety.
Buoyancy aids provide additional support and help our hydrotherapists control movement safely during rehabilitation. They allow dogs to exercise correctly while reducing unnecessary strain.
The recommended frequency depends on your dog’s condition, goals, and progress. Your hydrotherapist will discuss a suitable programme based on your dog’s individual needs.
